Robert Ley

Understanding sometimes is not enough to explain something. Only faith is sufficient.

Robert Ley (February 151890 – October 251945) was a Nazi German politician and head of the German Labor Front from 1933 to 1945. While awaiting trial for war crimes, on October 25, four days after receiving the indictment, Ley committed suicide by strangling himself in his cell, using a noose made by tearing a towel into strips, fastened to the toilet pipe in his cell.

We National Socialists have monopolized all resources and all our energies during the past seven years so as to be able to be equipped for the supreme effort of battle.

Quoted in "Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal" - Page 408 - Nuremberg, Germany - 1948

The trade unions that were swayed by Marxist teaching did not want social peace. They calculated that their chances of acquiring political power would improve with the growing dissatisfaction of the workers. One of the first necessities with which the Hitler Government found itself faced was that of dissolving the organizations that kept alive the antagonism between employers and employees. They were replaced by the Labour Front.

Quoted in Social Policy in the New Germany by Bruno Rauecker - 1936

You know we have this new poison gas - I've heard about it. The Fuehrer must do it. He must use it. Now he has to do it!

Catastrophe was only narrowly averted. It was all due to the faith of one man! Yes, you who called us godless, we found our faith in Adolf Hitler, and through him found God once again. That is the greatness of our day, that is our good fortune!

Understanding sometimes is not enough to explain something. Only faith is sufficient. The Führer in Nuremberg said: 'Woe to him who does not believe!' He who does not believe has no soul. He is empty. He has no ideals. He has nothing to live for. He has no sunshine, no light, no joy in life. He is a poor, poor man. What is wealth? What are possessions? What does it all mean? Problems come despite them, only faith is left. Woe to him who does not believe!

Our god is the wonderful law of creation, whose amazing unity of all things shows itself if wonderful flowers, in growing trees, in new born children, in the secrets of a mother, in the growth of our people, in work and accomplishment and creation, in life itself. It is the joy we have in everything. How beautiful everything is. Do you feel the same way? I am so happy to be alive.

We believe on this earth in Adolf Hitler alone! We believe in National Socialism as the creed which is the sole source of grace! We believe that Almighty God has sent us Adolf Hitler so that he may rid Germany of the hypocrites and Pharisees.

We swear we are not going to abandon the struggle until the Last Jew in Europe has been exterminated and is actually dead. It is not enough to isolate the Jewish enemy of mankind - the Jew has got to be exterminated!

May 1943. Quoted in The Final Solution: Origins and Implementation - Page 224 - by David Cesarani - History - 1994

The second German secret weapon is anti-Semitism, because if it is consistently pursued by Germany, it will become a universal problem which all nations will be forced to consider.

Quoted in "Trial of the Major War Criminals Before the International Military Tribunal" - Page 118 - Nuremberg, Germany - 1947

Workers of all lands, unite — to smash the rule of English capitalism! You young upward-striving nations of the earth, combine to annihilate the old English dragon who blocks the treasures of the earth and withholds from you the riches of the world.

Quoted in Metapolitics: From Wagner and the German Romantics to Hitler - Page 140 by Peter Robert Edwin Viereck, Peter Viereck - Political Science - 2004

The fight against the Jews has not ended... it will not have ended until the Jews throughout the world have been exterminated.
